The company has once again earned a spot on the prestigious list, this time for helping to train surgeons, paramedics and other healthcare providers around the globe through its Johnson & Johnson Institute and other programs.

By Johnson & JohnsonAugust 20, 2018

For the third year running, Johnson & Johnson has been nominated to the annual Fortune Change the World list, which spotlights companies worldwide that have leveraged their core business strategies to drive positive social impact around the world.

Johnson & Johnson was recognized for the education and training it provides healthcare professionals through various programs such as the Johnson & Johnson Institute, which comprises 24 state-of-the-art facilities worldwide that train more than 125,000 surgeons, doctors and nurses annually in hundreds of procedures ranging from complex spinal surgery to neurosurgery.

One of the Institute’s most recent initiatives is the Johnson & Johnson Institute on Wheels, a specialized mobile surgical training center designed to help serve more than 25,000 healthcare professionals across India. The need for such a roving training center is acute: On average, there are only six doctors and 13 nurses for every 10,000 people. The country also grapples with everything from high infant mortality rates to low cardiac surgical care—fewer than 5% of patients who need cardiac surgery receive it.

Since the bus hit the road in March 2018, it has already made stops in 21 towns and villages, training nearly 2,000 health workers.

By fully integrating our social impact work with our broader corporate strategy, we believe Johnson & Johnson can truly achieve the ambitious goal to positively change the trajectory of health for humanity.

Over the next five years, it's slated to travel to medical colleges and teaching hospitals in 400 more towns across the country to train surgeons and paramedical staff on topics such as infection prevention and gynecological and cardiothoracic procedures, just to name a few.

Another vital Johnson & Johnson program is based in Ghana, where the company and other local partners established the Medical and Surgical Skills Institute (MSSI) to provide hands-on medical and surgical skills training in advanced trauma.

Helping support the professional growth of those who care for others is just one of the ways that Johnson & Johnson lives its Credo—the company mission statement that outlines its commitment to putting the needs and well-being of the people it serves first.
